My research will attempt to affirm or deny the validity of the following theory: “Different mechanisms for the public financing of campaigns adopted at the state level have led to higher quality candidates, more competitive elections, and more responsible governance.” In order to execute a circumspect and empirical analysis of the tangible effects of public financing, I will be focusing on scholarship which dissects each of the individual factors involved, including the various mechanisms of subsidization
Introduction The 1992 and 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections were two of the most famously negative campaigns in history and share multiple similarities despite being separated by twenty years.

The presidential election of 2016 shocked people across America after Donald Trump won the election. Many people questioned how such a candidate could run for office, much less hold one of the most powerful positions on Earth. In attempting to uncover how Trump could be victorious in an electoral race against Hillary Clinton, this paper will analyze four key factors in a general election: the fundamentals, campaigns, the media, and the voters. Each factor provides insight on how Trump was able to

With a seat now open in the House and a Democratic incumbent, three different Democrats and a Republican campaigned long and hard for the seat.

communications from U.S. Senators and candidates for the Senate. We develop a marketing-based theory to explain which candidates are more likely to use social media for mobilization and fundraising. Through content analysis of over 15,000 Facebook posts made by candidates for the U.S. Senate, our analysis provides insight into the determinants of grassroots behavior on social media. We find that grassroots campaigning more commonly among challengers and Tea Party candidates who lack the name recognition and
